Mahindra believes in frugal engineering i.e. giving more ( > competition) with less input costs and that frugality turns out to be expensive in the long run.
@ronaldochristiano3761 i got 3 of them running in my taxi fleet with 150k+ on all of them. Well complaining about the real competition is common thing found in western world especially when its about aisan thing😅. Not ur fault i can understand!
20:41 @Paul, the tyre is Apollo, an Indian brand, which is worlds’ top 15 tyre manufacturer. Not a fan of all their models but they have great tyres too. Apollo owns the Vredestein tyre brand of Netherlands. They also had tie ups with Michelin and Continental, in the past.
Love from Nairobi Kenya....Mahindra is king....They are now in our police force working hand in hand with Landcruiser.....I love Mhawk....Though about M stallion we will review
Damn commendable effort by Mahindra for the 700 series. I happened to see one on display at a local shopping mall and upon approaching thought that the bonnet was unlatched. Closer inspection revealed massive shut lines all about the vehicle; nice interior but those piano black surfaces were already heavily scratched/blemished and dumbfounded as to the certain high level of luxuries (Merc-like front driver seat controls, all manual for passenger side, Tesla like pop out door handles but halogen rear taillights). An interesting mix, and well priced.
Cracking value at 39k and it’s fairly reliable based on reports from India. Kmpl is the fuel efficiency standard in India, but like Mazda here (which doesn’t allow change from l/100 to anything else)
As someone in the US (Miami), it's always interesting to see the somewhat off the beaten track options available in Oz. In a former life, I was a subcontractor to vehicle OEM's (selling enclosed truck space for film shoots, events and prototype transport) and chased Mahindra USA, for a short while. Their only focus stateside is farm equipment (they have brought in their version of the Jeep Wrangler but, short of some adventurous buyers, have never seen one in the wild.) Given Oz's relative proximity to Asia, as a whole, it stands to reason that consumers would be less judgmental when it comes to vehicles from the likes of India and China / Korea to a lesser extent. I spent 20 (formative) years in Singapore, so don't hold the same prejudices (My brother lives in Brisbane). Always a pleasure to run into your reviews, Paul. Thank you for the content, kind sir.
I don't think Australia's proximity to Asia has anything to do with their acceptance of less famous brands. It's just that Americans are too stubborn and brand loyal to even consider a brand that hasn't been in America for at least 30 years.

I think reason Mahindra has launched its passenger vehicles in Australia and South Africa but not in USA has more to do with the fact that these countries all have Right Hand Drive, same as in India. Vehicles in USA and most of the rest of the world have Left Hand Drive.
Hey Paul! Love the work you do! Been following you for quite a while now. I use this exact car here in India. Seems like you have missed enabling this feature “Smart Pilot Assist” for testing the autonomous driving! That isn’t the same as lane keep assist which veers too close to the lane markings for comfort. The former keeps the car dead center and I use it here in Indian condition quite extensively! Do try that out. 18:09
Could you please comment on the cabin noise of XUV 700? Is it better than other mid sized SUV's or similar to them? I have renault koleos which is a great car but the cabin noise is a down side of this car in my opinion. Thanks.
Paul like to remind you not everyone lives in the city. In regional Victoria digital radio is still years away so the fact the car doesn't have DAB digital radio is irrelevant to some of us.
@chillimocha we are a very urbanised populace but we are a long way short of 99% of Australians living in the city. Anyway my comment was just a reminder that not everyone lives in city / suburban areas.
i fail to understand this obsession with radio. Spotify and youtube premium are far far superior options. i dont even consider DAB a feature thats relevant anymore
It’s 4th video i am watching about Mahindra vehicles and man oh man, you guys review the vehicle brutally😂 no soft corner and i love this kind of reviews And one thing I noticed that Mahindra have launched only petrol version in Australia not the diesel version (which is available in India and i might be wrong) because in the diesel version you will have different drive modes known as Zip, Zap, Zoom and a custom mode where you can customise the drive feel as per your likings and the top end model comes with AWD (All Wheel Drive) And yes one more thing to add, the model name AX7L the “L” stands for Luxury, which differs it from AX7 model with the features like Sony’s 12 speakers system, 360 degree camera, Electronic Parking Brake etc.
I agree, I'm Chinese myself and my family prefers Indian products. It's cheaper too. If we want expensive.. we buy European or Japanese. Cheap but good = India stuff Expensive = European, Japanese, US.
In India we get both the 2.0L turbo-Petrol and 2.2L turbo-Diesel with FWD & Manual / Auto trans as standard, but the Diesel Automatic gets the option of an AWD version as well !
I test drove this car today. Frankly, I couldn't believe how great it was. Solid and refined at the same time. A pleasure to sit in and drive. The suspension is so good I didn't notice I'd gone over a kerb. And it's a 7 seater! If only there was more leg room in front as I'm 6ft2. For those 6ft and less, I have not found any better Petrol version, and I've test driven lots. Since it's built to withstand Indian roads, it should be very reliable. That I don't see more on the road in Australia tells me it's got to be a well kept secret..
Great review Paul; great car for the segment as well, I reckon. I just found the styling of the car really interesting: looks like a Koleos from the front, the doors/side profile of a Velar almost, and like a smushed, flat MG4 at the rear.
Instead of Buying Shitty Chinese Cars.....Please go for Mahindra which has history of over 70 years and considered as reliable and cheap to maintain......i am really impressed with xuv700 and its performance ....

Well what makes you think this is not an established brand. It was established in 1945. Quiet an old brand and still doing great in India, for a reasonable value and affordable price compared to the competition.
@@nunyabizness9885ol....did u just say garbage....ok...fine. ...what u guys have.....nothing ryt ...u pakistan zero.......see this from Australia..and look he is reviewing an Indian brand ..if he is doing this....u guys can understand what we Indians are capable of....
The reason why Paul, you're not happy with a few functions and quality because there's still not much competition in India for Mahindra. Foreign cars have extremely high tariff. Need to lower the tariffs further. Competition will make this and other Indian brands world class. Or else China will always be ahead of us.
Well the truth is there is a fair amount of competition in Indian market. While it's true that foreign cars face elevated tariffs, this mainly applies to CBU imports. In reality, numerous automakers such as Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen group, Honda, and others have a significant presence in the market and wield substantial influence with their diverse product offerings. Moreover, a substantial amount of their vehicles are manufactured locally in India due to which they are priced similar to their Indian competitors.
Buy one now if u want now, the price will increase later by a few thousand AUS in next 8-10 months definitely.. semiconductor chips are not getting cheaper and this is introductory pricing. Informing you with experience here from India .

Maybe they will improve the automatic aesthetics like assist and what not but it feels like the future is wiping away the age old Aesthetics of Real Manual Driving with full concentration on the road without any assistance, any cameras, any sensors.
BRILLIANT review ! The Mahindra XUV700 & the Scorpio N is now SIMPLY & FACTUALLY by a MILLION miles class leading in ALL categories: 1) Design & finishes, inside & out! 2) Performance 3) Tech 4) Safety slightly off..🤔 5) Performance 6) Off & on road capability 7) ALL THAT at AMAZING price .. & therefore by FAR SIMPLY the BEST VALUE you can find in the world today... (GWM & HAVAL will table a lityle debate, but NO one else stand a chance 😉😁!) Just brilliant cars 👍👌✨
This not fair to Mahindra waiting period in India is around 2 years and this guys exporting to Australia little bit disappointed but good luck in Australia
You're just being a picky bugger Outlander? And how long did it take for Mitsi to get their interior right? Mahindra have actually smashed it out of the park Solid brand with a solid price tag Every other brand in this SUV range is a rip off
I don't understand why you find it surprising that both the Scorpio-N and XUV700 drive so well? Is it because of your prejudice towards Indian brands? What is more surprising to me is your prejudice coupled with the fact that Australia has no known home grown auto car brands to start with. It will be good if you learn to appreciate without prejudice.
It’s surprising because the last XUV I drove handled terribly. So it’s great to hear Mahindra did ride and handling tunes in Australia instead of taking the base Indian tune. The Koreans have been doing the same for a while.

No, only the diesel version gets it. Only petrol models are sold in Australia.
No details for front led lights they are awesome and have booster light above 80 km speed
Also have cornering light too
Thank you for the review
Please do a video compare xuv 700 vs mitsubishi outlander!!!!
While reviewing, hardware components needs to be given much importance rather than software comonent
Paul when’s the Mifa petrol Lux review coming ?
The look resembles the new toyota Rush
I noticed the door handles stayed "out" when you got in the car. Do they move in when you start the car?
Yes
Mahindra is always the best
Please review the Honda ZRV e:HEV LX
Still looks cheap and last generation.
Hard no from me
Maybe they will improve the automatic aesthetics like assist and what not but it feels like the future is wiping away the age old Aesthetics of Real Manual Driving with full concentration on the road without any assistance, any cameras, any sensors.
BRILLIANT review !
The Mahindra XUV700 & the Scorpio N is now SIMPLY & FACTUALLY by a MILLION miles class leading in ALL categories:
1) Design & finishes, inside & out!
2) Performance
3) Tech
4) Safety slightly off..🤔
5) Performance
6) Off & on road capability
7) ALL THAT at AMAZING price ..
& therefore by FAR SIMPLY the BEST VALUE you can find in the world today...
(GWM & HAVAL will table a lityle debate, but NO one else stand a chance 😉😁!)
Just brilliant cars 👍👌✨
Only 1 cup holder though lol
@@shravstar4971seriously... Cup holders😂
If you want to buy this car in India, you have to book it and wait for one year minimum.. there is a huge demand for this car in India..
the 2nd row seat wasnt completely in place when you climbed into 3rd row so really the 3rd row space is worst when that seat is put in position
Hi Paul please could you do a review Mitsubishi Pajero sport 2.4L Auto 8AT/2wD Diesel
What happened to the 5 day growth look Paul?
Renault and Mahindra have partnered so you will find lot of similarities in there vehicles.
This not fair to Mahindra waiting period in India is around 2 years and this guys exporting to Australia little bit disappointed but good luck in Australia
About the fuel economy in india we usually gets 8-9 kmpl (11/100-12/100) but it's a brilliant engine for no doubt ❤
我终于知道为什么在中国只是不入流的MG汽车可以在印度卖的好😂
@@polar3553MG cars are not doing well in India.
Stop start works perfectly fine for mine you have to press accelerator to start it
Hi Paul, please could you do a review on the 2023 Mazda cx60 diesel hybrid.
Coming soon.
Hi Paul, would you review the gwm tank300 please? Cheers
Now live ;-)
There is no car reviewer better than Paul!
Lol
Best review
You're just being a picky bugger
Outlander? And how long did it take for Mitsi to get their interior right?
Mahindra have actually smashed it out of the park
Solid brand with a solid price tag
Every other brand in this SUV range is a rip off
I don't understand why you find it surprising that both the Scorpio-N and XUV700 drive so well? Is it because of your prejudice towards Indian brands? What is more surprising to me is your prejudice coupled with the fact that Australia has no known home grown auto car brands to start with. It will be good if you learn to appreciate without prejudice.
It’s surprising because the last XUV I drove handled terribly. So it’s great to hear Mahindra did ride and handling tunes in Australia instead of taking the base Indian tune. The Koreans have been doing the same for a while.
Finally, it's here 🎉
Hey Paul can you please review a Volswagen Touareg
*Does it comes with AWD there because here in India it's also come with AWD*
not yet
can you review the ldv d90
How reliable is this car?
Awesome.. Love from India
They don't need your "love" lol😂
